My name 71 00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:34,920 Speaker 1: means charming. I have Nimmini. I like hip hop as 72 00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:37,039 Speaker 1: you can play in the least seat, but my favorite 73 00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:43,560 Speaker 1: subject is his covery. What my first rap was about 74 00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:46,760 Speaker 1: history and hip hop. I guess it's always been my 75 00:05:46,839 --> 00:05:51,360 Speaker 1: destiny to combine my two great passions in to one 76 00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:56,240 Speaker 1: killer podcast. Okay, listeners, I normally would not recommend running 77 00:05:56,240 --> 00:05:59,200 Speaker 1: from your past, but we're short on time, so let's 78 00:05:59,240 --> 00:06:03,200 Speaker 1: keep moving now. I don't want to overhype it, but 79 00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:06,960 Speaker 1: this next room is incredible because it contains every history 80 00:06:06,960 --> 00:06:10,719 Speaker 1: book that has ever been written. It's like the Internet, 81 00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:18,080 Speaker 1: but maser. This is a historical records library. As you 82 00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:22,120 Speaker 1: can see, it's giant. But don't worry. You can get 83 00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:24,800 Speaker 1: to any book using this incredibly fast and elaborate train 84 00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:29,280 Speaker 1: track and trolley's system that I built. Watch, hold on tight, 85 00:06:29,880 --> 00:06:34,840 Speaker 1: what and what first? Over here we have cultural history, 86 00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:38,000 Speaker 1: and over there that's the history of medicine. And up 87 00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:40,880 Speaker 1: in those bleachers we got sports history. And somewhere around 88 00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:46,480 Speaker 1: here is histories mysteries, not sure where exactly. Oh, and 89 00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:50,360 Speaker 1: down in that cave is early human history, and where 90 00:06:51,160 --> 00:06:54,560 Speaker 1: up at the top is the history of space exploration. 91 00:06:56,200 --> 00:06:58,480 Speaker 1: And that's just a taste of what the library has 92 00:06:58,520 --> 00:07:02,240 Speaker 1: to offer. It's pretty amazing, I know. And making it 93 00:07:02,320 --> 00:07:05,400 Speaker 1: even cooler is the fact that I hire two historians 94 00:07:05,440 --> 00:07:07,960 Speaker 1: who now live here in the library. They help break 95 00:07:07,960 --> 00:07:11,200 Speaker 1: down the history so I can't break down the history, 96 00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:15,360 Speaker 1: although sometimes the historians can be a little hard to 97 00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:17,040 Speaker 1: find because the library. 98 00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:17,840 Speaker 3: Is so huge. 99 00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:21,200 Speaker 2: Hi, Nimini, how long. 100 00:07:21,040 --> 00:07:22,720 Speaker 1: Have you been sitting in this trolley car? 101 00:07:22,920 --> 00:07:25,600 Speaker 2: The entire time? I just didn't want to interrupt you 102 00:07:25,640 --> 00:07:26,920 Speaker 2: because you're really on a roll. 103 00:07:27,480 --> 00:07:29,960 Speaker 1: Well, even though I prefer you never sneak up on 104 00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:33,560 Speaker 1: me like that, I must admit your timing is impeccable. 105 00:07:33,880 --> 00:07:36,280 Speaker 2: Let me guess you're ready to learn about Aida Tarbell? 106 00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:39,720 Speaker 2: How did you know? As always, I did my research. 107 00:07:39,920 --> 00:07:42,960 Speaker 1: Wellie, if I'm gonna make a killer track that encapsulates 108 00:07:42,960 --> 00:07:46,520 Speaker 1: Ida Tarbell's whole life, no big deal at all. What 109 00:07:46,520 --> 00:07:48,960 Speaker 1: do we need to know about Ida Tarbell? 110 00:07:49,560 --> 00:07:52,840 Speaker 2: Well, Nimini, There is a lot to know about Aida Tarbell, 111 00:07:52,960 --> 00:07:56,040 Speaker 2: but the main, most important thing is that she was 112 00:07:56,080 --> 00:08:00,640 Speaker 2: a writer and a journalist who basically invented investigative journalism 113 00:08:00,640 --> 00:08:02,679 Speaker 2: in the United States. Okay, now. 114 00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:07,560 Speaker 1: Hold on, wait, what what's happening. 115 00:08:07,680 --> 00:08:09,640 Speaker 2: I'm taking you to the other side of the library, 116 00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:11,840 Speaker 2: to the history simulator. 117 00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:16,120 Speaker 1: Gotcha. Now, obviously I know what investigative journalism is. But 118 00:08:16,400 --> 00:08:20,800 Speaker 1: for those who don't, what is investigative journalism? Okay? 119 00:08:20,840 --> 00:08:24,560 Speaker 2: Okay, So investigative journalism is when a journalist chooses a 120 00:08:24,600 --> 00:08:27,840 Speaker 2: topic which is usually something sort of scandalous, like a 121 00:08:27,920 --> 00:08:32,959 Speaker 2: serious crime, or political corruption or shady business deals, right, 122 00:08:33,280 --> 00:08:34,160 Speaker 2: exposing corruption? 123 00:08:34,480 --> 00:08:34,880 Speaker 1: Simple. 124 00:08:35,240 --> 00:08:38,920 Speaker 2: Oh, and they spend months or sometimes even years, doing 125 00:08:38,960 --> 00:08:41,679 Speaker 2: all sorts of research in order to find facts that 126 00:08:41,720 --> 00:08:44,640 Speaker 2: can expose the truth. And the reason they're doing all 127 00:08:44,640 --> 00:08:49,160 Speaker 2: of this is because they want to create change. Oh excellent, 128 00:08:49,520 --> 00:08:50,080 Speaker 2: we're here. 129 00:08:51,400 --> 00:08:55,880 Speaker 1: Whoa, this is the history simulator. It looks like a 130 00:08:56,080 --> 00:09:01,400 Speaker 1: glowing alien cocoon. You built this yourself, Lee, of course not. 131 00:09:01,600 --> 00:09:03,520 Speaker 1: I'm a historian, not a scientist. 132 00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:05,880 Speaker 2: I had the raccoons to it, Lea. 133 00:09:06,520 --> 00:09:09,560 Speaker 1: That's why they're running behind on making the beats, and 134 00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:12,320 Speaker 1: why so much of this machine seems to be made 135 00:09:12,360 --> 00:09:13,760 Speaker 1: of garbage. 136 00:09:14,120 --> 00:09:16,680 Speaker 2: Yeah, try not to breathe through your nose, but trust me, 137 00:09:16,920 --> 00:09:19,040 Speaker 2: this is gonna be worth it. Can you hit that 138 00:09:19,080 --> 00:09:19,760 Speaker 2: big red. 139 00:09:19,559 --> 00:09:23,040 Speaker 1: Button, the one that says time travel with two exclamation points, 140 00:09:23,360 --> 00:09:27,000 Speaker 1: that's the one I would love to Here we go? 141 00:09:28,920 --> 00:09:33,840 Speaker 1: What welcome to? 142 00:09:34,640 --> 00:09:38,480 Speaker 2: This is a gilded age, specifically the year nineteen oh four. 143 00:09:38,800 --> 00:09:40,000 Speaker 1: Whose house are we in? 144 00:09:40,440 --> 00:09:41,520 Speaker 2: Are a tarbells? 145 00:09:41,559 --> 00:09:42,160 Speaker 1: Of course? 146 00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:43,400 Speaker 2: Have a seat? 147 00:09:44,200 --> 00:09:49,000 Speaker 1: Wow, these old timey armchairs are comfortable. Why are all 148 00:09:49,040 --> 00:09:51,680 Speaker 1: those magazines on the coffee table ripped up? 149 00:09:52,120 --> 00:09:56,479 Speaker 2: That is this month's issue of McClure's magazine. It's supposed 150 00:09:56,520 --> 00:10:00,320 Speaker 2: to be a reliable source of news, but newsflash, it's not. 151 00:10:00,679 --> 00:10:06,000 Speaker 2: It's totally exaggerated, sensationalized, and made to be as melodramatic 152 00:10:06,040 --> 00:10:08,600 Speaker 2: as possible just to sell newspapers. 153 00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:11,199 Speaker 1: That doesn't seem good, that's because it's not. 154 00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:16,320 Speaker 2: But that is about to change. This new group of journalists, 155 00:10:16,480 --> 00:10:20,120 Speaker 2: these muckrakers as they call them, led by Aida Tarbell, 156 00:10:20,280 --> 00:10:23,880 Speaker 2: are using the power of the pen to tell the truth. 157 00:10:24,320 --> 00:10:28,000 Speaker 2: And tonight, right here Ada will put the finishing touches 158 00:10:28,080 --> 00:10:32,520 Speaker 2: on the final installment of her nineteen part epic series 159 00:10:32,760 --> 00:10:37,000 Speaker 2: that exposes the corruption and unethical practices behind one of 160 00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:40,600 Speaker 2: the largest and most powerful businesses of our time, the 161 00:10:40,720 --> 00:10:42,760 Speaker 2: Standard Oil company. 162 00:10:44,080 --> 00:10:48,200 Speaker 1: Ida Tarbell is going up against Standard Oil?

And Phil the hype Man, I 341 00:20:31,200 --> 00:20:33,280 Speaker 1: know you didn't do anything on that song, but I 342 00:20:33,280 --> 00:20:35,240 Speaker 1: could feel your positive energy. 343 00:20:35,640 --> 00:20:39,320 Speaker 7: I am super supportive, supportive, supportive. 344 00:20:41,480 --> 00:20:42,360 Speaker 4: Oh my alarm. 345 00:20:42,520 --> 00:20:44,480 Speaker 1: Oh that means I'm late for today's interview. 346 00:20:45,920 --> 00:20:49,360 Speaker 2: You're gonna interview me, Phil the hype Man? 347 00:20:49,840 --> 00:20:51,640 Speaker 1: Oh no, Phil, am I interviewing you? 348 00:20:52,240 --> 00:20:52,440 Speaker 5: Oh? 349 00:20:52,760 --> 00:20:58,199 Speaker 1: Misunderstanding? Hanging in? No, no, no, Tina, I am not 350 00:20:58,520 --> 00:21:04,199 Speaker 1: interviewing you. In fact, I'm not interviewing anyone. I just 351 00:21:04,200 --> 00:21:08,960 Speaker 1: get to listen in. Well, well, what, please explain yourself? Well, obviously, 352 00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:11,879 Speaker 1: Ida Tarbell is amazing, but I thought it would be 353 00:21:11,920 --> 00:21:14,880 Speaker 1: really cool for a kid to talk to a trailblazing 354 00:21:14,920 --> 00:21:19,199 Speaker 1: writer of today. Thanks Tina the Raccoon. I thought it 355 00:21:19,240 --> 00:21:21,440 Speaker 1: was a good idea too, So a twelve year old 356 00:21:21,440 --> 00:21:24,199 Speaker 1: from Denver named Sophia is going to be interviewing the 357 00:21:24,280 --> 00:21:28,400 Speaker 1: amazing writing legend Susan Orlean. Susan is a staff writer 358 00:21:28,520 --> 00:21:30,840 Speaker 1: for The New Yorker and the author of books like 359 00:21:30,880 --> 00:21:35,720 Speaker 1: The Orchid Thief and On Animals. That's dope, I know. 360 00:21:36,280 --> 00:21:39,080 Speaker 1: And to make it even cooler, I am going to 361 00:21:39,200 --> 00:21:43,680 Speaker 1: use never before seen technology to get to the interview. 362 00:21:44,000 --> 00:21:44,480 Speaker 1: Watch this. 363 00:21:46,320 --> 00:21:49,240 Speaker 2: Uh it looks like you're just logging into zoom. 364 00:21:48,920 --> 00:21:52,760 Speaker 1: Phil make it hi or something. Come on, Oh right, sorry, 365 00:21:52,920 --> 00:21:55,720 Speaker 1: she's using the Internet like a wizard. 366 00:21:56,560 --> 00:21:58,960 Speaker 2: Who look at that? 367 00:21:59,240 --> 00:22:02,560 Speaker 1: Everyone is here. Hi, Sophia, Hi Susan. Why don't we 368 00:22:02,600 --> 00:22:05,760 Speaker 1: start with you both introducing yourselves. Hi. 369 00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:09,200 Speaker 5: I'm Sophia. I'm twelve years old. I love Denver, Colorado. 370 00:22:09,280 --> 00:22:12,240 Speaker 5: I you she her pronouns, and I am very into writing. 371 00:22:12,520 --> 00:22:13,600 Speaker 2: I'm Susan Orlean. 372 00:22:13,920 --> 00:22:17,320 Speaker 8: I'm a staff writer at the New Yorker magazine, and 373 00:22:17,359 --> 00:22:22,280 Speaker 8: I'm the author of eight books. I've been writing ever 374 00:22:22,440 --> 00:22:26,240 Speaker 8: since I could lift a pen, and I love it 375 00:22:26,640 --> 00:22:30,160 Speaker 8: just as much now as I did many many years 376 00:22:30,200 --> 00:22:34,440 Speaker 8: ago when I began, Susan. 377 00:22:34,119 --> 00:22:36,240 Speaker 1: What do you find interesting about Ida Tarbell? 378 00:22:37,040 --> 00:22:41,000 Speaker 8: One of the things that I found really interesting about Ida, 379 00:22:41,200 --> 00:22:44,879 Speaker 8: besides the fact that she was pioneering as a woman 380 00:22:45,480 --> 00:22:49,320 Speaker 8: was her interest in science. It was that she brought 381 00:22:49,520 --> 00:22:55,119 Speaker 8: the rigor of scientific analysis to journalism. This was a 382 00:22:55,160 --> 00:23:00,800 Speaker 8: time when journalism was really finding its way and it 383 00:23:00,880 --> 00:23:06,920 Speaker 8: wasn't necessarily guided by rational rules in any way, and 384 00:23:07,320 --> 00:23:13,960 Speaker 8: proof and conjectures and supporting hypotheses are really all very 385 00:23:14,080 --> 00:23:17,400 Speaker 8: central to what we think of today is journalism. 386 00:23:17,480 --> 00:23:21,119 Speaker 2: But she was pretty pioneering. I thought that was really cool. 387 00:23:21,480 --> 00:23:25,560 Speaker 1: But Sophia, it seems like Ida, despite being an important pioneer, 388 00:23:25,760 --> 00:23:26,680 Speaker 1: isn't that well. 389 00:23:26,520 --> 00:23:29,480 Speaker 5: Known, even though she was probably one of the founding 390 00:23:29,560 --> 00:23:34,480 Speaker 5: people of investigative journalism. I could walk up to like 391 00:23:34,520 --> 00:23:36,479 Speaker 5: one of my friends, for example, and then go and 392 00:23:36,520 --> 00:23:38,640 Speaker 5: ask them, Oh, yeah, have you ever heard of Ida 393 00:23:38,680 --> 00:23:40,160 Speaker 5: tar Bell? And they'd probably be like. 394 00:23:41,040 --> 00:23:46,640 Speaker 1: Who, Sophia. Do you have any questions for Susan about 395 00:23:46,680 --> 00:23:47,919 Speaker 1: her writing or her career. 396 00:23:48,240 --> 00:23:50,120 Speaker 5: One of the things that I've noticed is whenever you're 397 00:23:50,160 --> 00:23:54,000 Speaker 5: talking with someone, your quotes are just so specific and 398 00:23:54,040 --> 00:23:56,760 Speaker 5: you seem to have it all like you're actually there. 399 00:23:56,800 --> 00:23:59,439 Speaker 5: But I was really wondering, like, how are you able 400 00:23:59,760 --> 00:24:02,000 Speaker 5: to get all of these quotes in? What does it 401 00:24:02,040 --> 00:24:04,480 Speaker 5: look like when you're writing an article or a book. 402 00:24:04,520 --> 00:24:07,360 Speaker 5: Do you have like specific notebook that you use or 403 00:24:07,800 --> 00:24:09,800 Speaker 5: is some of this coming from memory? What does that 404 00:24:09,840 --> 00:24:10,600 Speaker 5: process look like? 405 00:24:11,520 --> 00:24:14,960 Speaker 8: I like using a notebook, and there's a very particular 406 00:24:15,080 --> 00:24:17,480 Speaker 8: kind of notebook that I love, and it's called a 407 00:24:17,560 --> 00:24:22,080 Speaker 8: reporter's notebook. It's long and skinny, and it was designed 408 00:24:22,200 --> 00:24:25,320 Speaker 8: and interesting that we're speaking about a woman journalist. It 409 00:24:25,400 --> 00:24:29,080 Speaker 8: was designed for male journalists to be able to keep 410 00:24:29,119 --> 00:24:32,440 Speaker 8: in their back pocket because at that time, of course, 411 00:24:32,920 --> 00:24:36,720 Speaker 8: women didn't wear pants with pockets. Now. I rely a 412 00:24:36,720 --> 00:24:40,840 Speaker 8: lot on my memory, for sure, but I don't trust 413 00:24:40,920 --> 00:24:45,320 Speaker 8: my memory for quotes. So quotes I need to write down. 414 00:24:45,720 --> 00:24:48,640 Speaker 8: But if I am not able to get the quote down, 415 00:24:49,000 --> 00:24:53,359 Speaker 8: then I paraphrase. And I think that's a very legitimate 416 00:24:53,440 --> 00:24:58,280 Speaker 8: ethical way to include information that you don't have verbatim. 417 00:24:58,600 --> 00:25:00,560 Speaker 8: What you're saying to the reader is this is the 418 00:25:01,200 --> 00:25:05,160 Speaker 8: general overview of what they said, but I'm not pretending 419 00:25:05,320 --> 00:25:07,720 Speaker 8: that I have it word by word. 420 00:25:10,040 --> 00:25:12,520 Speaker 1: Oh this is great, y'all, Sophia. I think we have 421 00:25:12,560 --> 00:25:14,640 Speaker 1: time for one more question for Susan. 422 00:25:15,119 --> 00:25:18,159 Speaker 5: I noticed that you are going to be or you 423 00:25:18,280 --> 00:25:21,560 Speaker 5: have written books Odd Animals, and then you've also written 424 00:25:21,600 --> 00:25:24,480 Speaker 5: books on people. Do you prefer writing about animals or 425 00:25:24,520 --> 00:25:25,879 Speaker 5: do you prefer writing about people? 426 00:25:26,280 --> 00:25:31,000 Speaker 8: Ooh, that's a tough one. None of my stories about 427 00:25:31,040 --> 00:25:37,320 Speaker 8: animals are really exclusively about animals. They really are about 428 00:25:37,640 --> 00:25:42,439 Speaker 8: our interactions with animals. They are a perfect way to 429 00:25:42,560 --> 00:25:46,879 Speaker 8: examine the human condition. I always think about writing about 430 00:25:46,920 --> 00:25:50,399 Speaker 8: animals is a little like what it might be like 431 00:25:51,080 --> 00:25:57,520 Speaker 8: if Martians arrived on Earth and they didn't speak our language, 432 00:25:57,840 --> 00:26:01,200 Speaker 8: And you know, we would be deeply interested in trying 433 00:26:01,240 --> 00:26:04,679 Speaker 8: to write about them, but we would never have language 434 00:26:05,000 --> 00:26:09,040 Speaker 8: as a way to learn about them. So we have 435 00:26:09,119 --> 00:26:13,200 Speaker 8: to learn about them using all of these other capacities 436 00:26:13,280 --> 00:26:17,719 Speaker 8: for empathy and understanding. And that is a lot of 437 00:26:17,720 --> 00:26:22,240 Speaker 8: what makes writing about animals so challenging but also really 438 00:26:22,680 --> 00:26:24,120 Speaker 8: wonderfully rewarding. 439 00:26:24,680 --> 00:26:27,280 Speaker 1: Well that's all the time we have. Thank you, Sophia 440 00:26:27,320 --> 00:26:27,880 Speaker 1: and Susan. 441 00:26:28,359 --> 00:26:30,840 Speaker 5: Bye, Susan, this was such a wonderful opportunity. 442 00:26:31,080 --> 00:26:33,399 Speaker 4: Sophia, I love talking to you. 443 00:26:33,720 --> 00:26:36,280 Speaker 8: Thank you so much, and I hope we'll be in touch. 444 00:26:39,320 --> 00:26:43,359 Speaker 1: Oh, how awesome was that interview. Sophia had such amazing 445 00:26:43,440 --> 00:26:47,399 Speaker 1: questions and really excellent insight, and Susan orlean while I 446 00:26:47,400 --> 00:26:49,959 Speaker 1: could listen to her talk about anything. In fact, I 447 00:26:50,000 --> 00:26:52,600 Speaker 1: think I might go read one of her books. Ah, 448 00:26:52,640 --> 00:26:56,880 Speaker 1: I'm doing it. I'm adding back to the library. Listeners. 449 00:26:57,320 --> 00:26:59,639 Speaker 1: Thanks for joining in today and for going on a 450 00:26:59,720 --> 00:27:03,400 Speaker 1: journey with me to learn about the great Ida Tarbo. 451 00:27:03,520 --> 00:27:07,959 Speaker 1: And a huge thanks to today's guests Susan, Sophia, Carly 452 00:27:08,200 --> 00:27:12,200 Speaker 1: and Mosiah.
